Primary Care Physicians: Health Advocates Delivering Patient-Centered Care

Our mission is to ensure individuals who do not have health coverage receive the same level of quality healthcare as those who do. We understand that healing our communities requires addressing economic and social factors affecting health. Many times, this necessitates providing services in various settings to connect individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care.
